Perfect gift as everyone needs a really good pocket knife to carry every day!! They show them being a bit under $150.00, but in stores they are typically a little less. I just bought one for a friend not too long ago and it was $120.00. With engraving it was right around $160.00 for the knife and engraving. Unique gift that will actually see use all the time and will be very much appreciated. Have their names engraved and it will just add that personal touch.

The mini-barrage has a blade just shy of 3". Perfect size and blade shape for just about any task you can think of to include dressing out a deer or antelope. These have a spring assist opening which opens the blade very quickly, and it has two locks on the blade so you don't have to worry about closing it on your fingers!! If you can find the blades that are coated in black, the engraving really pops out and I think it's only about $10.00 more to get the coated blades.

How about an apology note for having a September wedding! Just kidding - we all know you didn't have an actual say in the date!

Seriously though, I like the Benchmade or cooler ideas. I got an engraved Leatherman from my buddy once that I still use now, years later...

$200 per person, wow how times have changed since I got married. I would just get them all a gift card so they can get what they want and for $50-$100, not $200. I believe all I got was a small pocket knife back in the day and for sure it was not over $20.

Yeah the date isn't ideal haha. I must have chosen pretty well though. I got the green light to leave the honeymoon two days early so I can make it to wyoming for opening day.I guess I can't complain much about that!

Yeah $200 is definitely tops I would much rather spend less but I don't want to get them something cheap or that will never be used.

Best groomsman present I ever got was 3 bottles of $15 beer. If they all drink, you know their go to, you could get expensive beer(if you need help, I can help you), a bottle of scotch for each, bourbon, gin, whiskey, ect. Everyone gets a different bottle depending on their tastes.

The question is, will you be able to miss the anniversary in ten years to make it for the opener in Wyoming.

That's what I keep hearing. If I had any doubts about hunting in the future believe me it wouldn't be happening.

Thanks for all the help guys, I think I'm going to go with either the knives or the luggage. Both of them are something that will last and will get used, thanks again!

Group bird hunt. $200 won't make S.D. but looks like many preserves in IL. http://www.ultimatepheasanthunting.com/usa/illinois/

Give them a box of shells with note inviting them to a group hunt around the New Year. Marriage is amazing; however you might enjoy a boys trip a few months into your new life.
